Pacific Rim is an amazing visual treat for lovers of CGI and all those amazing graphic jargon I know not of.
The story line is very plain and uncomplicated (I am saying that as a good thing). If you are expecting an Alfred Hitchcock twist of a movie, then you should go find an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
It is simply huge machines against huge monsters. I was skeptical at first, following my disappointment with Transformers (all of them). The machines look amazing! The camera angles are on point and the combat scenes could not have been shot any better. Maybe a little less light could have improved some scenes but overall the movie delivered what it promised to deliver. Stunning graphics. I liked the music and sounds too.
The low points for me were the overused hero clichés and speeches in every movie you see. Additionally I believe Charlie Day's character could have been better. His 'frightened' look was not the best.
In a nutshell, go see the movie expecting nothing mind-blowing (like the Usual Suspects); just something eye-ploding!!!
